Best Smartwatch under 5000 – 2023

The first question that comes to mind when we think of buying a smartwatch is – “Do I really need a smartwatch?”

So before we get down to listing the Best Smartwatches under 5000 rupees, we will quickly go through a few reasons why you should consider buying a smartwatch.

  1. The biggest reason to buy a smartwatch are all the fitness trackers that come loaded into it. Most watches can track your steps, distance, calories, heart rate and even your sleep.
  2. A smartwatch can be life-changing if it motivates you to remain active throughout the day. For people who work from home or on laptops throughout the day – a smartwatch can make you a fitter and healthier person – provided you are willing to put in the effort and remain consistent with your goals.
  3. Smartwatches are also mini-phones, capable of doing basic tasks which you do on your phone. You can receive notifications, reply to messages, get basic access to social media, listen to music and perform several other tasks.
  4. Smartwatches with speakers and cellular, also allow you to make and receive calls – apart from giving you access to internet and with it all the features that open up due to internet connectivity. Cellular truly makes your watch into a mini-smartphone. But they do increase the cost of the device.

A quick tip: If this is going to be your first smartwatch – go for a basic smartwatch under 5000. Use it for a year, see if you like wearing a smart watch all day. See if you will use it for your fitness and health.

If you do find it useful, you can later upgrade to a better and more expensive smartwatch.

If this is going to be your first smartwatch – we highly recommend you do not spend more than 3000 to 5000 on your first purchase.

Now, let us get to the list.
